On behalf of its Area 4 partners, Eni has announced reaching a production milestone of 5 million tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Coral Sul FLNG facility located in the ultra-deep waters of Mozambique’s Rovuma Basin.
The Coral Sul FLNG started production in October 2022 and has exported so far 70 cargos of LNG and 10 of Condensate, contributing significantly to the country´s economic growth.
According to Eni, Coral South is a landmark project for the industry, and it placed Mozambique among the global LNG producing countries, laying the foundation to a transformational change of Mozambique through development of gas resources, while also supporting a just and sustainable energy transition.
Notably, Coral South is the first project approved by Area 4 partners in the Rovuma Basin namely, Eni as the operator, ExxonMobil, CNPC, GALP, KOGAS, and ENH.
“We are truly proud to announce this very important milestone today. This accomplishment reinforces our commitment to delivering outstanding value to the country of Mozambique,” said Marica Calabrese, Eni Rovuma Basin Managing Director.
“We will continue to work with our partners and the Government of Mozambique to ensure a timely valorization of Mozambique’s vast gas resources with additional developments of gas projects. As we celebrate, we recognize the importance of remaining focused on safety, environment, and operational excellence,” Calabrese added.
Coral-Sul FLNG has a liquefaction capacity of 3.4 million tons per year (MTPA) and is set to produce 450 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas from the vast Coral reservoir, located in the offshore Rovuma Basin.
